Scantlings refer to the detailed set of dimensions that outline the structural components of a vessel. These dimensions, also known as structural dimensions, are crucial in ensuring the strength, stability, and safety of the ship.
For instance, the scantlings of a ship’s hull would include dimensions such as the thickness of the steel plates, the distance between the frames, and the radius of the ship’s bilge.
